Description

The Hayward SPX1434EA is a bulkhead fitting supplied with its gasket. It is the genuine Hayward part, sold as a kit.

What a bulkhead fitting does

A bulkhead fitting is how plumbing passes through the wall of a tank or housing without leaking. The fitting clamps through the opening and the gasket does the sealing. Because the gasket carries the whole joint, Hayward supplies the two together rather than expecting an installer to reuse a compressed one.

Before you order

Hayward part numbers in this family look alike, so check SPX1434EA against the parts list for your equipment. If the old fitting has been weeping, look at the sealing surface around the opening while everything is apart, since a scored face will leak past a new gasket.
